Ghost in the Mirror

I saw you in the dark again,

Flickering like a cigarette flame.

Your voice is carved into the rain,

But every echo feels the same.

I wear your hoodie like a skin,

Pretend you’re still just walkin’ in.

But silence crawls across the floor,

You don’t live here anymore.

You’re just a ghost in the mirror,

Fading every time I get nearer.

I talk to walls like they’re you,

But they don’t talk back, they never do.

You’re a song I can’t rewind,

A memory stuck in time.

And I still reach out in my sleep—

But I only hold the deep.

Your shadow stains the morning light,

You left, but didn’t say goodnight.

I build a world where you still stay,

But it all falls down every day.

I hear your laugh behind the glass,

A moment gone I can’t get back.

I tried to love you like before—

But love turned into war.

You’re just a ghost in the mirror,

Fading every time I get nearer.

I talk to walls like they’re you,

But they don’t talk back, they never do.

You’re a song I can’t rewind,

A memory stuck in time.

And I still reach out in my sleep—

But I only hold the deep.

Maybe I loved you more than me,

Maybe that’s why I can’t breathe.

If letting go means losing pain—

Then why’s it always rain?

You’re just a ghost in the mirror,

But I keep drawing you clearer.

I dance alone in a dream,

Where nothing’s ever what it seems.

You’re a song I can’t rewind,

But I play it every night.

’Cause even ghosts deserve to stay

If they never walked away.
